Happy Pinterest Party Friday everyone!!! This week flew by!

Only five days left of school. The unnamed child and I are so ready for summer!

I went to citywide yard sales yesterday, and I found some goodies! Three end tables, a fabulous old dresser, and two great, carved mirrors. I might have to hit a few more sales on Saturday.

I will be painting all weekend and getting ready for my garage sale next week! More on that later…

On to this week’s pins!

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!!! I am so lucky to have an amazing mother, and to be a mother to such a wonderful daughter (no matter how many times she may roll her eyes at me these days).

I hope you all get to relax and let others pamper you today! Continue reading →

Happy Pinterest Party Friday everyone!!!

First of all let me apologize for being a sucky blogger this week guys. I over did it last weekend and tweaked my back — which meant no projects ready for the first half of the week.

Then once I was healed, my WordPress tweaked its back(bone) for a couple of days after an update went bad. Topher now has us back up and running again … thank goodness.

Next week will be filled with some of this week‘s fun projects I couldn’t show you — including the fun gift I am making for my mom!

Speaking of gifts for mom … what are you all doing for Mother’s Day? I am hosting brunch at my house for my Mom and Dad and brother and sister-in-law. Next week, we will try meeting up to have dinner with my mother-in-law.

On to this week’s favorite pin’s!

It’s that time again everyone! It’s Pinterest Party Friday!!!

This week has flown by for me.

The unnamed child is having a sleepover here tonight. I’m painting all day today. City-wide garage sales in a neighboring town are Saturday morning.  Then dropping the dogs off to get groomed, and more painting the rest of the weekend.

I’m such an exciting person.

Onto this week’s favorite pins!

I am getting ready to start renovating our hall bathroom, and I’m so excited!

Topher, on the other hand, is not so excited.

I’m planning on replacing the laminate with tile, repainting, ripping-out the existing vanity and back splash and replacing it with an antique dresser that we will turn into the new vanity. And I still can’t figure out why, after seeing his project list, why Topher isn’t as excited as I am. I’m trying to pump him up by explaining how fantastic it will look.  I can tell by the look on his face that he has no vision.

Oh well, I’m sure he will be happy about it once it’s finished!

Happy Pinterest Party Friday Everyone!!!

I’m so happy we are finally having nice weather! The pups are getting to go on walks (which makes them less crazy …  which makes me less crazy). I went to yard sales yesterday and found some fun things, and I think I am going to go to  city wide sales on Sat.

Right after those we are going to Kansas City to watch Topher run in another race. It’s one where they dress in costumes and run an obstacle course through the mud, and that’s fun to watch — we’ll see everything from ballerinas to vikings to bunny rabbits. He ends up covered in mud, so we have to bring towels and trash bags to cover his seat in the car.

Here is a picture of him and a guy he works/runs with at last year’s race. They were an Amish couple … the unnamed child and I were pretty embarrassed. Continue reading →

It’s Pinterest Party Friday!!!!  It’s been a cold, wet week here, but it’s supposed to warm up a bit this weekend.

Topher’s company has its annual Zoo day on Saturday, and the rest of the weekend I am working on as many projects as possible — I have a long list of custom projects due, and I have to get moving!  Plus, we’re hoping it can stay above freezing from now on … Topher really needs to get his vegetables out of our guest bedroom and into his garden!

Let’s check out this week’s favorite pins!

Happy Pinterest Party Friday everybody!

Sorry this has been a light week of posts. With the kid being sick earlier in the week, and Wednesday being Topher’s birthday, I was trying to take care of them.

This weekend, I’m finishing up a chair to go with the grey desk I showed you on Monday, two yellow tables, and I am starting a grey nightstand.

Plus for the first time this year, I am going to go to some yard sales. I will let you know what I find.

Happy Pinterest Party Friday everybody!!! Is it just me, or has this been the longest week ever?

I have been trying to stuff way too much into each day this week. Plus, the kid has cheer tryouts on Saturday morning, and I am sooo stressed out for her. This year only a couple of girls graduated off the squad, and they may be cutting the number of girls who make the team, so competition will be steep. So any prayers for the unnamed child would be greatly appreciated.

I will be sweating bullets through tryouts, painting (of course) and watching the Final Four game (Go Shockers!).

What are you guys doing this weekend? Let me know, I need to live vicariously through someone.

Happy Pinterest Party Friday everyone!!!

It’s almost Easter, and I am having my close family over for dinner on Sunday. Two days ago, I had the entire upper floor clean … and somehow between now and then (and two crafts and a teenager) it grew a new layer of  messy. So that’s what I will be doing Saturday — along with finishing two tables that are giving me grief. I will show you those projects next week, along with the much anticipated sequel to Sweetie’s Story which will be Bob’s Story. I had no idea how interested everyone would be in that, LOL!

Onto this week’s favorite pins:
